Do You Know An Avon Lady?

If your answer is no, you need to change that right now. I just read the latest Avon catalog (campaign 20) and I want everything in it!

I love hanging out at my grandmother's house! The fridge is always full, I get all the hugs I want, and someone is always stopping by just to say hello—like Theresa, the neighborhood Avon lady. The 91-year-old woman lives down the street and has been selling Avon for longer than I’ve been alive. (I’m not sure how good her math is, but Gramma thinks Theresa’s been an Avon lady for more than 70 years.)

The Avon catalog: It's a page-turner!

And the woman is super successful. But it’s no wonder—the catalog is filled with incredible products and amazing deals. Seriously, just flipping through quickly I found new lipstick and eye shadow shades that I want to try and a pair of earrings that I need.

You don’t even have to leave your living room! I mean, really, the process couldn’t be easier or more fun: A friend drops off a catalog, you catch each other up on your lives, you flip through, she takes your order (or comes back in a couple days to do it), and then delivers your goodies a week later. Plus, this sweet little old lady gets a cut of the profits. That’s my kind of shopping!

Do you have an Avon lady in your neighborhood? Have you ever thought about becoming one?
